Our Mission
Fight Back With Food is a non-profit organization, established in 2023.
To inspire children to build healthy habits early by teaching them the importance of nutrition, sleep, and sustainable choices in fun and engaging ways.
At Fight Back with Food, we want to empower children with the knowledge and tools they need to make healthy food choices, fostering a lifetime of wellness. By blending education, inspiration, and access to nutritious options, we aim to nurture both their bodies and minds, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.
Our primary objective is to provide comprehensive support through educational programs, fundraising events, and financial assistance. We hold a steadfast belief in the transformative power of nourishing, nutrient-dense foods to improve both physical health and mental well-being.
There is so much conflicting information about living a healthy lifestyle. We want children to have a safe place to turn to—where they can feel confident about the health choices they are making and see the positive effects of those changes. We aim to help children understand the difference between unprocessed, minimally processed, and ultra-processed foods and the effects those types of foods have on our bodies.

Our WHYs
Unfortunately, the current food pyramid is upside down, and food manufacturers have blurred the lines between what is healthy and what is not. For example, PepsiCo has a marketing budget of $3.5 billion, while essential commodities like beef, chicken, and eggs collectively share a budget of only $700 million. Our mission starts with our children but is ultimately to help Americans become healthier through food education and to amplify the voices of those who need to be heard.
With rising concerns about obesity and related diseases, we aim to reverse these troubling trends. Our organization believes in the transformative power of nutrient-rich foods to improve both physical and mental well-being. We also recognize the importance of providing a reliable source of information for making healthy lifestyle choices while encouraging support for local farms and farmers.
We, as a society, have slowly replaced nutrition in our diets with ultra-processed foods that contain little to no nutritional value and are wreaking havoc on our bodies.
The health of Americans is on the decline.
Food manufacturers are prioritizing their financial needs over the health of American consumers, producing everyday products that are harming our health.
It’s time we stop letting food and corporations control our lives and give kids a
Foundation for Lifelong Health. Kids who learn healthy habits early are more likely to maintain them as adults.
Our HOWs
Young minds are eager to learn and emulate behaviors modeled for them. Educating children often influences their families and communities..
Remove the fears and myths associated with eating nutrient dense foods.
Force food manufacturers to put better ingredients in the foods and products that we rely on, on a daily basis.
